Abstract: An object sterilization system includes an enclosure having an access door with at least one ultraviolet emitting device supported within the enclosure. The ultraviolet emitting device(s) are for directing ultraviolet radiation on an object placed within the enclosure. A source of power is interfaced to each of the at least one ultraviolet emitting devices, operatively flowing current through each of the at least one ultraviolet emitting devices, thereby each of the at least one ultraviolet emitting device emits ultraviolet radiation for producing ozone and for sterilizing the object.

Abstract: A foot/shoe sanitizing system includes a housing having at least one opening and at least one ultraviolet emitting device supported within the housing. The ultraviolet emitting devices direct ultraviolet light around and/or through the set of foot/shoe support bars towards the foot or shoe placed on the foot/shoe support bars. The ultraviolet emitting devices are controllably powered to emit ultraviolet light and/or ozone onto the foot/shoe. In a preferred embodiment, the ultraviolet emitting device emits light that includes short wavelength ultraviolet light, causing the formation of ozone in the area of the shoe, thereby killing pathogens that are not easily killed with ultraviolet light alone. The system includes a sheet of activated carbon for catalyzing the ozone into harmless concentrations of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.

Abstract: A portable sterilization device using direct UV-C radiation to sterilize the bottom of footwear from known, multiple sources of contamination including bacteria and viruses. This portable device will offer a safe sterilization method for the general public, both in-home and in commercial use.

Abstract: A foot/shoe sanitizing system includes a housing having at least one opening and a set of foot/shoe support bars coupled to the housing in proximity to the at least one opening. The foot/shoe support bars support a foot or shoe placed through the opening(s). At least one ultraviolet emitting device is supported within the housing beneath the set of foot/shoe support bars. The ultraviolet emitting devices direct ultraviolet light around and/or through the set of foot/shoe support bars towards the foot or shoe placed on the foot/shoe support bars. The ultraviolet emitting devices are controllably powered by a source of power to emit ultraviolet light. In a preferred embodiment, the ultraviolet emitting device emits light that includes short wavelength ultraviolet light, causing the formation of ozone in the area of the shoe, thereby killing pathogens that are not easily killed with ultraviolet light alone.
